Drivers of Mortality Project

 In this video, Dr. Edison Magalhaes from the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine explains his research on whole herd drivers of wean-to-finish mortality. He develop an automated statistical model to capture and merge multiple data streams into a single cohort report. Then, he used that cohort report to measure the association between specific parameters and wean-to-finish mortality as well as forecast closeout mortality based on multiple variables.
